Init Problems

[brad.dude03]

Okay in my TD, since i'm too lazy to make the triggers seperate, I have one trigger that starts the level timer at the start of the game, as well as dictates when to start the next level. Here it is:

• Next Level
• Events
• Player - Player 11 (Dark Green)'s Food used becomes Less than or equal to 0.00
• Player - Player 12 (Brown)'s Food used becomes Less than or equal to 0.00
• Conditions
• Defeat Equal to False
• Actions
• If (Level_Number Greater than 1) then do (Game - Display to Defenders the text: Congratulations, yo...) else do (Do nothing)
• Set Gold_amount = (Gold_amount + 2)
• Set Level_Number = (Level_Number + 1)
• Leaderboard - Change the title of (Last created leaderboard) to (LotR TD + (Round + (String(Level_Number))))
• If (Level_Number Equal to 1) then do (Countdown Timer - Start Next_Level as a One-shot timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds) else do (Countdown Timer - Start Next_Level as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds)
• If (Level_Number Equal to 1) then do (Game - Display to (All players) the text: Welcome to Lord of ...) else do (Do nothing)
• Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title ((Level + (String(Level_Number))) + in...)
• Game - Display to (All players) the text: |c0000cdf9Next leve...
• If (Level_Number Equal to 33) then do (Game - Display to (All players) the text: Holy crap!!! You ma...) else do (Do nothing)
• Trigger - Run Setspawns <gen> (checking conditions)

Problem is, at the start of the game, the trigger wont initialize unless I place down a unit owned by DG and have my tester guy kill it, then it initializes. So this leads me to believe that their food is not at 0 at the start of the game... which is not right because it should be... any suggestions?

I think the "Food used becomes Less than or equal to" event only fires when a player's food usage changes.

Just add a Trigger - Run "Next Level" to your map initialization and that would probably solve the problem.

Yes, that event will not register if the player starts with 0 food.

You could simply add "Map Init" to your events on that trigger.

Ah, thanks Tonks that will work exactly....
